What we really didn't expect was that the town seemed full of bikers and girls with tatoos and piercings. We met a couple of girls hanging out on the steps in front of a bar called Mecklenburg Inn or something like that. We chatted with them for a while and ended up in the bar of course. On of them was the bar-keep Angie. She mixes drinks that will make you blind. She made us mojitos that burned the hairs out of our nostrils. As Alicia, the other girl, said: "She's a little heavy on the drinks".
We had a great evening with the girls and their friends and found out even more surprising things about Shepherdstown:
1: When ever anything insane happens in the town, it usually happens in Mecklenburg Inn. Just our luck to stumble in to the local crazy anarchy-drinkinghole. :) (It might be worth mentioning that the inner walls were made of steel. And they were dented.)
2: Mecklenburg inn has been selected by the Inquirer as one of the top 25 bars in USA.
3: Shepherdstown is the home of a large gay/lesbian community (among them our barkeep Angie and a few of the friends)
Behind the bar was a very peaceful and nice little garden, whit a pavilion, where a very nice guy made burgers and barbeque.
We ate our dinner there, sharing it with a very cute cat, that joined us at our table. We later found out, that this cat had many years previously been adopted by the bar. It was known as Bar-kitty or simply BK. Every bar should have a bar-kitty.
Just like in DC it was a little heartbreaking to leave all these great people and that wonderful place behind us. It's great making new friends and having a fun time, but no fun at all to ramble on and leave it all behind again... but I guess thats just the way a rock'n'rollercoaster works.

You made a classic mistake. The bar has been adopted by the cat, not the other way around.
Yes of course, how silly of me! Bar-kitty has obviously taken Mecklenburg inn under its paws...
